S.O.S.... Save Our Seed !

9/18/2013

 
saving tomato seed
Saving seed is usually pretty straight forward....for instance a bell pepper. Scrape out seed, let them dry. Store. Easy peasy.
Not so with the beloved tomato.

Tomatoes come with a built in sprout inhibitor and need to ferment in order to easily separate the seed from the goo that surrounds them and achieve a better germination rate.
Yes.... "Goo" is a technical term.

Where to start....??

Labor Day Holiday is GONE...summer is GONE... here it is still 90+ degrees during the day...HOT, but the humidity levels and rain have died off over the last couple of days. Still remarkably hot during the day, but you can walk outside and not need a shower when you come back in 10 minutes later.

I know this will floor you, but although you are reading this on Friday morning, I am writing on Thursday night, watching the crummy nightly news cause I'm too damn lazy to get up from the computer and change the channels to Two and a Half Men...always good for a laugh.

And then the dog/soldier/war hero story comes on.

Really? Hold back the tears. Or don't. I certainly didn't.

Korie and I have been through a rough patch past few weeks. One day I'll share to the public, but suffice it to say, she's good now. But it was a long quick 5 week ride getting here.

Enjoy the video. Get the tissue... I hope your dogs give you the same joy and pain mine give me.

    Kelley Creek Farms is a small (micro really) hobby farm located in Central Alabama 30 minutes south of Birmingham. We raise heritage and rare waterfowl and poultry along with a myriad of other creatures that give the farm its life. In addition to the birds, we raise heirloom tomatoes and vegetables.

    Each day is different and brings a new set of adventures. Some make you laugh and some make you cry. Some are just plain frustrating. But we persevere knowing that tomorrow's set of problems will be completely different than today. Still figuring all this out ....one day at a time and striving for a more sustainable way of life.
